About Top Chef Dubai
Top Chef Cooking Studio is a cooking studio in a villa on Jumeirah Beach Road, Jumeira 1, running hands-on classes for adults and children. Mini Chef, for children aged 5 to 12, is a 90-minute class for up to 10 children, who cook a main dish, a drink and a couple of sweet treats from a menu listed with each date. Teens Budding Chef, a two-hour class for ages 13 to 17, is listed only occasionally. Mum, Dad & Me pairs one parent with one child aged 5 to 12 at the same counter. In the school holidays the studio runs Kids Cooking Camps for ages 5 to 12, booked by the day, and Teens Cooking Camps for teenagers. It also hosts birthday parties for children aged 7 to 12. After cooking, everyone eats what they made in the studio's dining room. The studio says its classes are for fun, not professional training, and it does not issue certificates. It is rated 4.2 on Google from 110 reviews.
The activity
Cooking, explained
A kids' cooking class is a hands-on session in a real kitchen: children weigh, mix, chop soft ingredients, stir and bake a short menu with a chef guiding each step, then usually sit down to eat what they made. Along the way they practise following a recipe, measuring (handy maths), basic kitchen safety and hygiene, and working with other children at a shared counter. One-off drop-in classes suit children who want to try it out, while teens can move on to fuller menus and real cooking basics. Here, kids' classes start at age 5.
Who it's for
Children aged 5 to 12 (Mini Chef and Kids Cooking Camps), teens aged 13 to 17 (Teens Budding Chef, listed occasionally, and the summer 2026 Teens Cooking Camps), and one parent with one child aged 5 to 12 (Mum, Dad & Me), as the studio's current class listings state them. Birthday parties are for children aged 7 to 12 in groups of 10 to 20. Classes are open to all levels.
What to expect
Mini Chef is a 90-minute class for up to 10 children, who cook a main dish, a drink and a dessert or treat from that date's menu, which is shown with each class listing. The studio provides ingredients and aprons, so there is nothing to bring. A chef takes the group through each step, then everyone eats together in the dining room; the studio prefers not to do take-away. Recipes are emailed after the class. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early: classes start on time, and anyone more than 15 minutes late may not be let in. Classes are booked and paid one at a time on the Cooking Classes page.
